Just tried it and it's a little bit erratic:If you drag slowly the mouse cursor out of the text control, first the scrolling is very fast, then suddenly it almost stop and then it become to accelerate again.Not a big deal.

It'll only work if you rotate the mouse wheel while the mouse cursor is over the tabs, and if the mouse wheel is detected as such. On Windows this means it must send a WM_MOUSEWHEEL message, and not use fractional scroll amounts.

This functionality isn't new, the only recent change was turning it off by default on platforms other than Linux. It only exists to keep in line with typical GTK behaviour, and the only reason there's even a setting for it is so that it can be turned off on Linux too - it's not a nice bit of functionality IMO.

If you're on Windows, a better option is to leave the setting off, and switch tabs instead by holding down the right mouse button and using the mouse wheel - it works without having to have the mouse over the tabs, won't cause inadvertent switching, and works with fractional scroll amounts.
